Thanks for the replies.
sarge-amd64-2.6.12-netinst.iso did not auto-detect the NICs but after
manually choosing forcedeth it actually worked.
ONLY: that I did get some "timeout" kernel error messages (sorry,
forgot the exact text) and it only really worked after I switched the
network cable between the two ports back and forth many times !!
Good to hear you got it going, but do upgrade your kernel -- the driver
should work without problems.
How can I know which port is eth0 and which eth1 ?
And - if not - can I at least rely on the order staying the same
between reboots ?? (I want to connect one port to the internet the
other to a local (unroutable) private sub-net...
Yes, you can -- as usual in Linux, there are several ways. Check out
http://www.science.uva.nl/research/air/wiki/LogicalInterfaceNames -- the
script /share/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/get-mac-address.sh comes
with the ifupdown package.
Is "forcedeth" the only possible driver ? Just curious ...
Yes -- and it works great!
